I remember back in 1966 when America’s drive-in movie theaters did not want to do it, because it would make their movies show too late at night. Everyone else, though wanted more daylight in the evening, and they won the argument.
This cartoon appears to take place in Arizona (based on the cactus types and terrain), which does not observe daylight saving time. For a state with a lot of really stupid legislators, this is a surprisingly wise decision.

Thank you for the time change reminder. I appreciate that.

Can we agree that it’s DAYLIGHT SAVING and not SAVINGS?

I always thought that they lived somewhere in Arizona, no DST here!

The United States goes on DST,
Except for Arizona within the US, which doesn’t,
Except for the Navajo Nation within Arizona, which does,
Except for the Apache Reservation within the Navajo Nation, which doesn’t.

The worst part about DST is getting up at 2am to change the clocks.

I’d say that on any given topic, half the country agrees with you

We still have it because pols never like to give up power they have over the people.

We still have it because people are too lazy to stand up and tell our politicians what to do. They’d rather just go along.

Wait, Carmen, don’t you live in Arizona where they don’t use DST? Unless you live in the Navajo Nation.

Either end of the age spectrum want to keep it. Kids so their bedtime is later. Us old people who can drive an hour later.

Cool!
Stantis has provided yet another issue for the Republican Party of Trump to weaponize and LIE about.
Keep up the good work, Scott.

America will stay with antiquated useless systems forever?the proof? we are not using the metric system yet

I don’t care whether we have DST or not, just so long as everybody does the same thing (I’ll make an exception for Hawaii).
But people who get confused or aggravated by being asked to reset their clocks twice a year are morons.

1) Benjamin Franklin came up with it to help farmers. 2) There is legislation rumbling around in California to stay daylight saving time all year.

Verily I say unto you, as the late, great George Carlin hath sayeth-ed:
“I don’t know whether to sh*t or wind my watch,”
“‘Think I’ll sh*t on my watch!”
uh
(Anybody wanna buy a watch?)

China has one time zone officially, even though it spans five time zones geographically.

It has no legitimate use in the 21st century.

Arizona doesn’t have Daylight Saving.
